Cloudflare is now offering a feature called “AI labyrinth” where it serves a series of AI generated pages to AI crawlers that ignore robots.txt directives. They’re essentially serving AI slop to AI crawlers that are training off of a website’s content without permission. Deliciously devious. 😈

this is absolutely for surveillance

Politicizing masks has done untold amounts of harm. First mask mandates were dropped in healthcare, leading to countless preventable infections. Then the regular harassment of maskers began. Then Vance’s federal ban on mask mandates. Now it’s mask bans. They’re criminalizing a medical device

Love how the centrist Democratic message is "we are very unpopular; to get popular we have to demonstrate to everyone that we're absolutely willing to abandon our least popular friends," and people who apparently don't understand how people work shrug and say "yeah you gotta be realistic."

What’s funny is that there are people legitimately arguing this almost verbatim. Online discourse is so deranged I have to be on the lookout to make sure I don’t bite the onion.

basically the only two politicians in the country who can hold a public event in 2025 that won't fill up with people wanting to yell at them

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

How can people honestly be expected to give a damn about each other if they’re all this isolated? The only exposure to new ideas they get is when they’re grilled online or in real life for their misconceptions. And the cycle only perpetuates.

If you ask me, social media is to blame. Everyone has everyone else at the tips of their fingers, yet never felt more alone. It’s no wonder extremist thinking took off. No matter what you believe, there’s a homogenous group waiting for you with a smile and open arms. Little cults everywhere.
